Highlights from this week’s show.

Bryan, Boston, Rob and I recap the huge news that was announced by FC Cincinnati on Monday that Portland Timbers forward Fanendo Adi and San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Fatai Alashe have joined the Orange and Blue.

To find out a little more about FC Cincinnati’s first designated player signing, we visited with William Conwell from Stumptown Footy, a Portland Timbers blog.

Our own Bill Wolf had the chance to attend today’s press conference and was able to get some really good audio from Adi, Alashe, FC Cincinnati Technical Director Luke Sassano, Head Coach Alan Koch, Majority Owner Carl Lindner III and President Jeff Berding.

Speaking of announcements, last week FC Cincinnati announced that Head Coach Alan Koch has been extended through the 2020 season.

We opened up the phone lines and spoke with some great fans of FC Cincinnati. Do you like our Free-for-All episodes? Let us know at [email protected].
